Welcome to the home of the GPU Users Group, Inc.

The GPU Users Group is a charitable non-profit organization founded by a group of computer hobbyists and enthusiasts who have a common interest: using off-the-shelf computers for processing, at high speed, large amounts of distributed data for leading scientific research projects by using inexpensive Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) commonly found in computer video cards. This is also known as High Performance Computing, or HPC.

Our members are located around the world yet serve a common goal: promoting scientific research and progress via the facilitation of charitable contributions, and enhancing the effectiveness of research projects by providing free high performance computing power to scientific organizations and their projects.

For our Thanksgiving update, I wanted to put out a quick update to inform everyone of the current status on our two fundraisers.

As it stands, we are $4999 away from having the required funds to fill the RAID Array for SETI at Home. The RAID box and the set of quick rails have been delivered to the SETI at Home offices, all that remains now is to fill the array with 2TB Hard Drives. Until we fill the RAID Array with hard drives, it's just a fancy box, so if you can spare a donation, please do so to help us complete this project. Read more »

On Nov 5, 2011 we kicked off our RAID Box and 45 Hard Drives fundraisers. I'm proud to announce that today, Nov 10, 2011 we have raised the required amount for the RAID Box thanks to our generous donors.

As such we have ordered the RAID box along with a set of quick rails for the box to make instillation much easier for the SETI at Home team. These items will be shipped directly to the SETI at Home offices. I'll follow up with the tracking information for both units once we receive it. Read more »
